With all the voter fraud stories last week, I don't know why this didn't get more attention (either that or there is a huge gap in my political news consumption habit) -- from the conservative Civitas Institute in Raleigh, NC:

So far in early voting 110 year olds have made a pretty good showing; 2214 of them have voted either by mail or at a one-stop site (214 by mail and 2,000 at early voting sites). There are 1,420 Democrats in this group, 717 Republicans and 77 Unaffiliated voters.

Nothing against very old voters, but it is funny that these 110 year olds live in only 34 counties and 87 percent of them live in 4 counties - Guilford has voted 681 of them so far, Forsyth - 581, Cumberland - 427 and Davidson voted 230.

So if you want to increase your odds of living (and voting) longer, move to Greensboro, North Carolina.
